[Published on 8 March, 1998]At least two golf clubs are fed up with the Mafia, a betting formatwhich prohibits the taking of a free drop - even those permittedby local rules. Therefore, if a sprinkler head or young plant isin their swing path, these golfers still let fly. Similarly,Ground Under Repair signs, cart paths and buggies are ignored.With big bets at stake, the Mafia golfers are not prepared to takea penalty drop.Said one club general manager: "What we have to do is to circulatethe names of the Mafia clowns to all clubs and impose anisland-wide ban. Perhaps they don't realise the damage thatthey are doing with their selfish bets."

About this blog

Hello. I am Lee Chee Chew, creator of the comics strip CHEW ON IT!, published in The Sunday Times in Singapore. Welcome to my archive. Here you can view my past works, plus stuff that have never been printed before.

But the main purpose of this blog is to provide constant assistance to Phung Thien Nhan, a Vietnamese boy.

Abandoned at birth and left to die, Thien Nhan was mauled by a dog which bit off his right leg, testicles and penis. He was adopted by a Vietnamese family in Hanoi, and is now seeking sponsors to help pay for his medical care, rehabilitation and education.

The first thing I did after reading about Thien Nhan was to make a donation (and it certainly won't be my only one). I sincerely hope that you will do the same too.

HOW TO DONATE #2

If you are unable to access the bank in Vietnam or do not have PayPal, you can do a bank wire transfer to me (either online or use a DBS/POSBank ATM) or pass me the cash in person at my workplace (Singapore Press Holdings). I will then forward the fund to Thien Nhan via my PayPal account. I will update this blog with your name and donation amount every time a contribution has been made.
